If slope angle A angle B 180 then angle A and angle B are angles?
supplementary angles
The slope is equal to the angle of a line?

The angle of the land is measured by this?
Of the land surface, you may refer to slope, or gradient. In geology, the dip angle is the name given to the angle down which a strata follows.
How do you find slope intercept form when given coordinates?
Use: (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) to find the slope. Use: y -y1 = m(x -x1) to find the slope intercept equation whereas m is the slope.
How to measure the angle of incline of a slope?
The slope is the rise/run.And then angle of incline = arctan(slope).
About how steep is the angle of the slope for Extreme Skiers?
About how steep is the angle of the slope for "Extreme Skiers"?
How do you find the slope of a line on a xy coordinate plane?
Form a right angle triangle under the slope and divide the base of the triangle into the height of the triangle.
If slope angle A angle B 180 then angle A and angle B are angles?
supplementary angles
How do you find the slope in 22 and 66?
if the slope is 1 in 22, draw horizontal line 22 long, then vertical line 1 high, hypotonuse is slope, angle of slope is (INV tan ( 1 / 22)) . same deal for 1 in 66, 66 along then 1 up, angle is (INV tan ( 1 / 66))
What does a slope of a tangent represent?
All this represents is the angle of a triangle, which is calculated using trigonometry. The slope is given in degrees of an angle.
What does slope determine?
Slope is the angle compared with the horizontal, where the horizontal is 90° to the vertical, which can be measured with a plumb line. So, put a weight on a string, measure the angle of the string to the angle you are measuring, subtract 90° and that will give you the slope.
Is the slope equal to the angle of a line?
No
Does slope equal speed?
No slope is the angle at which a surface goes up or down.
Why is a 2H to 1V slope which is a 50 percent angle less steep than a 9H to 1V slope which is an 11 percent angle?
11%
What is the number of forces acting on an object sliding down an incline?
two, one is the resultant weight on the slope and = cosine (slope angle) * mass two is the force on the object and acts parralel to the the slope and = sin (slope angle) * mass
A ski slope is 250 yards long with a vertical drop of 100 yardsfind the angle of depression of the slope?
The angle of depression is equal to the angle of elevation, so use the sine ratio to find the angle. sine = opposite (the vertical drop) divided by the hypotenuse (the ski slope) sine = 100/250 = 2/5 or 0.4 sine-1(0.4) = 23.57817848 degrees which is about 24 degrees
